Welcome to…

STOP SPANGLISH:
The five fastest ways to forget Spanglish!
 Do you ever feel like you’ll never understand how prepositions work?
 Not sure why one verb is okay in Spanish, but means the opposite in English?
 Still have problems with word order, even after studying English for years?
 Can’t figure out what you’re supposed to do with subjunctive?
 Are you comfortable with writing English if you use short sentences, but you still
feel like you need to translate longer sentences and ideas?

We have the perfect solution for you!

THE FIVE FASTEST WAYS is an eight-hour workshop that has been designed to
address the biggest problems that intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced
students have. We can’t analyze EVERY single type of mistake, but we’ll cover the five
biggest problems that prevent students from speaking and writing well:

 THE BIG FIVE! English verbs are inflexible, limited and boring – and that’s
extremely GOOD NEWS.
 S.V.O.P.T.: Simple syntax seems so, so silly – but it’s super sweet for students.
 SEVEN SIMPLE SENTENCES: Predicate patterns made easy.
 PREPARING FOR PREPOSITIONS: Get those little monsters under control!
 DELIGHTFULLY DECISIVE DESCRIBERS: Make adjectives and adverbs
work for you!

Eliminate the Problems.

We’ll take real-life examples of mistakes that students make in class and see why these
errors prevent people from communicating effectively.

Review the Rules.

Each topic has an easy rule and schema to follow. When you get a rule, you’ll always
get the complete explanation about why this is different from Spanish, as well as
explanations why this is important for business and everyday English.

How do we do this?
Working in groups, you and your classmates will analyze and correct the problems you
encounter at the beginning of class. We’ll use exercises, role-plays and proofreading
that’s specifically designed to give you plenty of practice and confidence.

And the learning doesn’t stop in class! Each module contains a custom-designed daily
support program that gives you listening, reading, writing and grammar practice that
you can do at your own pace between classes. During the course, you’ll have online
support from your teacher: help and support is just a phone call away. You’ll also learn
the skills and techniques that will help you become a stronger, more efficient language
learner.
